Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In the past decade, Northeastern's reputation as a prestigious institution has flourished. Not only is the application process becoming more competitive, but also the course schedules are becoming more rigorous. With more than 125 programs to choose from, Northeastern students have countless opportunities for choosing a major. The University's academic approach is flexible, allowing students to practically create their own academic agenda. Each of the eight colleges offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in addition to the interdisciplinary majors that combine two or more fields of study. If you are indecisive about your major, Northeastern's faculty and staff are there to assist you in signing up for classes according to your interests, inevitably setting you on a career track that works best for you.

Especially for those students who have trouble committing to a particular career path, the co-op program (short for "cooperative education") can serve as a means of insight and experience in the professional world. Each student can follow either the four-year or five-year program of study, depending on his or her desire to partake in the co-op program. For those that do participate in the co-op program, they will gain up to 18 months of professional work experience and graduate with several entry-level jobs on their resume. Northeastern's co-op program works with more than 2,000 employers in the realms of finance, government, health care, technology, industry, and the arts and media. Gaining work experience prior to graduating college is very useful, particularly in this economy. Northeastern students who have gone through the co-op experience are put at a unique advantage when it comes to the job market.

The program in Religion offers the opportunity to acquire an understanding of religious experience within its social, historical, literary, and political context. We study specific religious traditions such as Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism and using a comparative approach they explore themes across faith traditions. Through the major, you have the opportunity to study a range of religions and a variety of methods of understanding the key dimensions of religious life. It's extremely interesting and all the teachers are great at what they do! Despite the notable strengths in the scientific department at NEU, us religious students feel like we're able to approach our class without prejudice towards our beliefs and are able to concentrate in a calm and inspiring environment.

General Academics

The school as a whole offers a great experience to all students. There are endless choices for majors and I think the way the co-ops are structured also help make a definite decision in regards to what one wants to study. The teachers are great, there are opportunities for students to be able to talk to them one on one, and to meet them after hours and ask them about anything discussed in class. I think that the relationship between students and teachers, despite the size of the university, is pretty good and it's something that really makes the difference in a school.
